It has been successfully applied to a small number of different models, most prominently for the simulation of computer caches and queuing systems. Unfortunately, widespread use is prevented by the state-match problem, which restricts the application of time-parallel simulation. Instead of a correct solution to the state-match problem, this work proposes the use of approximate solutions to facilitate the temporal decomposition of simulation models and to extend the class of models suitable for time-parallel simulation. However, this introduces an error in the simulation results, which might seriously distort or even invalidate results. Therefore, the error must be closely analyzed, and a method of error control must be provided. In addition to the basic properties of approximate techniques in time-parallel simulation, this work presents two use cases that illustrate the introduced concepts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549705051697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,20]],"date-time":"2005-06-20T09:07:52Z","timestamp":1119258472000},"page":"255-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Using Approximation with Time-Parallel Simulation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Tobias","family":"Kiesling","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fakult\u00e4t f\u00fcr Informatik, Universit\u00e4t der                         Bundeswehr M\u00fcnchen, 85577 Neubiberg, Germany,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/84537.84545"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"53","volume-title":"Proceedings of the SCS Multiconference on Distributed Simulation","author":"Chandy, K."},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/102810.214307"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"213","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1994 SIGMETRICS Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems","author":"Nikolaidis, I."},{"key":"atypb5","first-page":"734","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1990Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Heidelberger, P."},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"105","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 17th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation","author":"Wu, H."},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-8191(93)90051-L"},{"key":"atypb8","first-page":"700","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1992 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Wang, J.
